I was a student too, and the lack of disk quota caused KDE to terminate and log me out unexpectedly when it ran out of space for temporary files or something.
But of course, your experience was in a very different epoch.
If you had too little disk quota to do your work, you should have talked to the sysops. They're there to facilitate you doing your work. That's how I got my quota doubled.
For the software, you got a license to run it, you should be able to run it as long as you want and be able to install it on every new computer that you buy without having to pay again.
That depends on the licence, and whether or not it is actually valid.

Here's another one for you - let's say you bought a prebuilt computer with Windows XP. One day after the warranty expires, you spill coffee on it and fry it, and decide to just buy another PC - now you've bought two licenses of Windows XP but only use one.
What relevance does the warranty have in case of PEBKAC error? You broke it, and it isn't the manufacturer's fault at all.
Okay, so I sinned and did RTFA. Here's a quote from the last paragraph, which is ROTFLMAO, IMHO.
Context: case study of OOo being burned to CD in a school project.
One of the students has suggested we try to get individuals and local organisations to sponsor individual disks and this is something we'll definitely be considering - Chris is already working on a draft letter to Bill Gates!
It'll be a cold day in hell when Bill Gates will sponsor OOo for schools! That would go straight against his business strategy in so many ways...
The hidden function would be hidden on Windows. There would not be a hidden equivalent of the function in Linux -- because there would not be a reason to provide a suboptimal function in the first place.
If they number the boxes, and know which IP address is which box, and the boxes are positioned in order, it's not hard to find the broken boxes quickly.
Don't assume all writers spell flawlessly. They have editors and proofreaders who are supposed to pick out all the mistaeks. Luckily, I can spell flawlessly;-)
With the help of magnetic propulsion, it is feasible to attach a generator to the motor and produce more electric power than was put into the device. Minato says that average efficiency on his motors is about 330 percent.
The credit card companies let the merchants take the fall for fraud, even though it's not their fault. But to be competitive nowadays, you HAVE to accept credit cards, and ALL the credit card companies are doing it this way, so merchants don't really have a choice. They're screwed either way.

That'll be easier said than done, what with all the spam and all. 90%+ of spam would be considered offensive...

That's why all the senior Unisys people have email addresses which contain 9-bit ASCII characters.
And you thought Slashdot was old-fashioned with its 7-bit ASCII in the comments, eh?

Yeah, they're going the road of slow adoption...
That was exactly my point.

You must have a really hard time shopping for groceries:
"Shopkeeper, did you acquire these rolls of toilet paper in a legal manner? Can you prove that?"

Perhaps it would reduce the interference enough to allow for higher speeds, or longer distances.
I'm sorry, but I don't accept invisible money anymore...

No, they're not talking about electromagnets.
